Rainy Icy Day

Here is the gallery. Yesterday's is now linked as well. 

Ice and rain makes for such interesting times.

I still have a dog to groom and she is a challenge - well over 16 now and hates trimmers near her face or scissors so I act really really silly, use scissor and clip then do it again and clip. I wonder what she thinks with this game but I suppose due to the reduced sight, she finds this all so scary so we do our best and forget about the rest. I suppose it is called good distraction.

All the dogs that are here are having a gredat time but really iced be gone. We grow weary of it. What a winter this has been.

Now off to groom!

To be Smitten or Not?

Here is a small gallery.

Must be the smell of a fresh clean gal but Marco was crazy over Ellie today. It was a riot. She kept rebuffing his overtures and then she left. I swear he is upset that she is gone. LOL Relationships - they can be complicated!

Dennis and I are about to watch a tv show with the dogs. I have to finish the blog 1st. 

The games the dogs play are so interesting and yes, it is still very icy out back. 

Treacherous

Here is the gallery.

It is Dennis day off and Dennis went to get more tests done. Nathan went to the doctors for a trapazoid issue. Me, I went outside and almost fell on my ahem navigating the ice. Dogs seem to be fine. Me, I was holding on for dear life and had to do this several times on my own navigating and slipping and sliding. 

I told Nathan I can't do it again so it is him before bed - not me. 

We did do a ton of playing indoors. I acted like a complete idiot dancing, jumping and got them so excited.

It was a truly fun and outstanding day except for hanging on to anything outside hoping not to fall. 

Dog Play

Here is the gallery.

Not many photos today but the dogs are having fun. They are playing like they do not have a care in the world and they don't. Wake up, go outside, eat, go outside and play and on and on and on.

So love the carefree attitude of the havanese. They bring so much joy to my life - my own and visitors alike. Can't get better than that!

Two Blog Day

Here is the blog.

This is how they react when the food is starting to be prepared. Dinner - please - now please?

It is a riot. 

Ms Juni departed today, She has been with us since they staged and sold their house. She will miss the craziness but I bet she is happy to be back with her humans. They are always happy to be here and happy to go rest at home. LOL

It has been a full day. We had special treats as we have a birthday boy here.

Dennis and I are about to eat and watch tv and be slathered with dogs. 

Life is fun today as we had a run down the paths, special treats and games.

Happy 3rd

Hi Nathan & Darlah. Farleigh is celebrating his 3rd Birthday today. Happy birthday to the siblings!

Fun is to Be Had

Here is the gallery,

Marco and Thunder are having a grand old time. It is a riot. The 4 siblings that are here are now fully intergrated and playing with most.

It is my day off as Nathan has a doctor's appt on Monday and Dennis has more tests to do so today is it for me. What am I doing? Trying to figure out a solution for these cardboard filaments that Sherry got me. My AMS doesn't like them so I have almost completed a hack that allows me to use them - hooray. Just took all day. A wonderful way to waste your day - am laughing but if this works, I will be able to buy these 2 brands and use the rims and middle section with each filament of these 2 brands going forward. 

Rocco came in the door as if he was ready to party. What a riot that boy is. I am so glad as he looked like he needed the fun distraction of a party hearty time.

Vivi has decided that girls are better to hang out with than those boys that attempt to mount. She tells them off and they listen. They must know she is serious. LOL Good one! 

Gucci brought treats and everyone got a few and well that was amazing. On another funny note, Gucci tries to mount the boys. The dogs are such characters.

Everyone is having a blast and today they stood outside and watched the rabbit slowly and methodically walk across the yard without a care in the world. What a riot. She no longer thinks the havanese are a threat!

It's a Who is THAT

Here is the mini gallery.

The dogs are fascinated by this being in our yard. They no longer chase it but they all stare and I imagine wonder what it is. I guess they have seen it so much that the chase game no longer happens and the rabbit actually looks comfortable even when the dogs are outside.

It has been a slushy day out today. Lulu is departing soon and we can't let her out as she is freshly groomed and well she wouldn't be if she went outside.

The dogs are truly getting along and we had 6 dogs arrive today - 4 remaining - 2 just for day visits. 

The dogs are totally enjoying each other!

For the Fun Of It

Here is a small gallery.

Dennis and I are watching a strange tv show called Twisted Metal. We are on season 2. The things I watch for Dennis. LOL

We had dogs come and go. We have Vivi adjusting spendidly. We have Gucci full out playing. Everyone is playing but it brings smiles to see.

I am still exercising daily though I reduced my time as it appears to irritate Nathan but I decided to go back to my usual. I find after 2 months of reducing, you get flabby and I do want to fot into shorst and all that come spring so we are back at it.

I am finding while we watch this show, the dogs give me much comfort. Do they know something I don't?

Doggy Play

Here is a mini gallery.

Socks and Hazel came in the door and Sage and Hazel are playing up a storm. I guess they remember each other. 

I have been mega busy so we only have a small gallery but be assured that everyone is having fun. 

The play is silly play - just like I like it and I suspect how they like it. 

Dennis has to go get more tests done now for his kidneys tomorrow. He seems to be at the doctor more than Nathan. LOL I am sure he is fine. It will mean I will be doing more tomorrow. LOL Oh and Dennis ate all the leftover popcorn nd said sorry. I laughed. He deserved it too.

Sherry - I'm making headway on printing rims. Got one brand done - now working on the other.

Snow Coming?

Here is a small gallery.

It has been a lazy day. Dennis is off so it means I do more and well photos are secondary. I washed floors as a few dogs marked on the floor. I change water. I change pads and I even fit in exercise. Oh, and that laundry lol. Hope you had a day that was more relaxing.

I had a roaring grand time running like an idiot in the house expelling energy in me and the dogs. My apple watch said I did this for 64 minutes straight and most of the dogs either watched or hung in with me. It was fascinating to watch who was energetic. Yes, we do silly stuff here but it exercises me and them. I can't wait till spring though. 

They say snow is coming. Fun...well the yellow will disappear but still. 

Monday Monday

Here is the gallery.

Lucky is a lucky gal sitting on high like the princess she is. She departs today. 

Murphy likes to sit in her crate and I say hers as she has claimed it. Mr. Ozzy arrived. We have a number of arriving and departing going on. It is also my day off and I am  playing with my 3d printer making drawers to go under it to hide all the tools. 

Yesterday I made Sherry a fun purse. You are supposed to be able to line it and put flowers in it or so they show it as. 10 hours later - yes laughing as it was different. You never know what you can make and she makes purses with her sewing machine. Murphy gets a groom when I wake up and wonderful that Sherry is good enough to have her home. I wonder who will steal Murphy's bed at night after she departs. 

Ms Juni is going home this Sunday if their house sale goes through. She will miss this place. I may have to do her just before pickup as she would never stay combed. There are just some dogs. 

The sun is shining. Weather is not bad for winter. We hear Florida is downright cold. 

Vivi sauntered in the door having a ton of fun already. 

I am short blogging it today. I just want to relax. I want Nathan to get me popcorn and he is crabbing about it but hey, I think I deserve double layered buttered popcorn - don't you? 

Play Before Departure

Here is the mini gallery.

Sorry, Sherry - think Dennis forgot to click Murphy but she has been enjoying Juni. Juni is a puppy that we now have to put away from Winston as Winston thinks she is in heat and she is not. LOL So, it is as if Murphy says to her - I will hang out with you as I get it.

Cassie, Arlo, Lola, Axel and Olive depart today. They have all had a blast!

It is wet outside so those that are departing after grooming can't go out. We had snow fall off the gazebo and fall into the kitchen. The dogs barked at it. It was funny. 

Wet and Fun

Here is the gallery.

I am trying to get Nathan to get me a double layered butter popcorn from SilverCity and he says - no, I am too tired. That is okay. I am eating fishies with a chicken sandwich and the dogs are looking at me as if to say, where is mine? I feel guilty but they already ate.

It was mighty wet outside.

Winston thinks Juni is in heat. She is not but Dennis is going to sleep with her tonight and we have Winston with the guys vs the girls.  

The dogs got mighty wet so too much grooming today. Blog is short but they are having a TON of fun!

Mostly Indoors

Here is the gallery.

This is Arlo. He is having the time of his life getting to play with everyone.

Winston and Quinn - siblings played till 1am last night till finally Nathan said ENOUGH. I put ear plus in. LOL Oh the fun they had and I couldn't stand not looking at the play. Quinn has departed and I net he was sleeping as he played hard this morning too. Winston is playing with Opus a tom. 

We have hardly been outdoors as it is raining - cold rain and dtipping wet dogs. You get the idea so we have been playing games indoors - running, catch, fetch and anything else to work those minds.

Thanks goes to Ronnie for some chocolates. I do love chocolate. LOL Thank you for soup and a special present of hiding treats mat from Quinn's mom. 

Thanks goes to Murphy's mom for an unexpected gift of a sander for these 3d prints. Am hoping it works and helps post print projects. I do appreciate all of you!

It is Nathan's day off. He is upstairs reading and sitting in a recliner. 

We had Elvis and Rosey here and they had a ton of fun after grooming and Elvis before and after as he aws the last to do. He would be more apt to wreck himself if Dennis let him out when he took the dogs out after a groom and I would be doing more work. 

Lucky thinks she is the queen always choosing her high up position. It is funny... and well everyone else is doing well and having moments too. 

Running Play

Here is the gallery.

We had several dogs join us tonight. One was Winston, who is Quinn's brother. Thet do remember each other and are having a total blast.

Arlo - a new dog has arrived and is thoroughly excited with the other dogs. Olive found her place in Dennis' arms and we are awaiting Coco.

I had a ton of grooming to do today so I am finding a couch, watching tv and avoiding anything used to be prince Andrew as it seems to have been on all day here. 

We have a magnificent group of dogs here. 

Oh and Murphy decided to take Panda's high up spot seeing Panda went home today. It is funny how some spots become more coveted than others. It's a dog perception as I don't think they are coveted. LOL

Snow Day

Here is a mini gallery.

I am not feeling well so forgive me for a short blog. Nathan and Dennis was out so it was me and the dogs making Ikea Skadis boards. LOL

That means I was outdoors with the crew many times and one of those times I clicked. 

The dogs know how to have fun.

Nathan is napping late as he got back with Dennis late and I am about to cuddle with the dogs on a couch. 

I am not seeing it snow, at the moment though the roads I am told is trecherous. 

Will it start snowing again and Dennis can get more photos? We shall see.

Puppy in the House

Here is the gallery.

This is Juni and Quinn. Juni embraced the meltdown but I am under the weather so I did not brush her today. I had other dogs to do that are departing. As we will be getting snow tomorrow, I will do her then.

I will tell you Quinn is out of his mind happy to be with everyone. He did take a nap with Nathan and his canine mom and then he woke up raring to go. He is having a total blast. 

I am about to crawl on to the couch and watch Dennis have fun as he preps for a colonoscopy and some other test. He is having fun. 

We still have 2 dogs departing tonight. 

The dogs have what I call an immense amount of fun going on and Ms. Murphy embraced outside. We shall see what she does tomorrow.

Looking from Their Abode

Here is the gallery.

We have a line of crates under our table. We also have them in bedrooms and in the TV room - all without doors but one that has a sliding door that is left half open. The dogs go in there to have a rest without someone bothering them. Well, today Cassie was in one as you can see above and Murphy was in another. Safi crawled into the one her sister Murphy was in and you could hear this audible sigh as if to say - if you must - okay and it is a small space - meant for 1 dog. They settled in and both fell asleep for a good hour. I kept checking on them as it was so funny and silly of a reaction just to make sure all was well and it was. 

Dogs do have their own sense of exasperation and giving in, I suppose. 

We had a number of dogs departing. 

We had a ton of play and well it is wet out there... but better than the frozen tundra it was.

Nathan still refusing to go to the dr and that shoulder is still hurting but I caught him snuggling with a variety of dogs and suddenly when he was, he stopped complaining. See - dogs are special medicine to the  soul!

Sort of Late

Here is the gallery.

Sorry - a bit late. I just finished grooming 5 dogs and suddenly 3 more was going home so 8 dogs today and just finished now. I have yet to do dishes. I am tired and I need bed but not yet...

Small blog today. I apologize. Not many photos as Dennis wasn't feeling well and I was busy grooming. Life...

But dogs hung out with me. Each dog that was finished, I played with them. Nathan took them out and well now he is taking them out for the last run, play and bathroom break before bed. 

Lots went home today and several tomorrow.
